Shim Jam
ShimJam is the shared creative practice of Chloë Shimmin and Michelle Jamieson — collaborators, theatre-makers, and co-founders of Hello Little People.
Based in Glasgow, we use co-creation, experimentation, and storytelling to explore new ideas across theatre, digital storytelling and community arts.
What We Do
Our Creative Practice
We devise and create theatre, digital storytelling and interdisciplinary performance that explores connection, the environment, and imagination. We design participatory projects that invite others into the process; young people, artists, and communities.
